Volleyball Gets Its First Hockey Dad


Since it’s all over the internet anyway…
According to the Detroit News:
A 41-year-old Webberville man who attacked a coach, referee and two spectators at his daughter’s volleyball game faces up to 93 days in jail if convicted on four counts of misdemeanor assault.
According to witnesses the man became upset with a penalty call during a girl’s […]

This Week’s National Rankings


Well, look at the changes in this week’s rankings! One of two things has happened:

They have begun to accurately reflect what is actually happening in the matches and conferences across the country, or
They have been reading my bitching and complaining in this blog and have taken it to heart.

Clearly, it MUST have been the latter. […]

The Upset Weekend Continued


Well, as we rush toward the end of regular season play in the CIS, upsets continued in the weekend’s matches. And there were a couple in the NCAA, too. It warms my underdog-loving heart, it does.
Women
For the full slate of scores and stories, go to the CIS website.

Giant-killers #6 TWU took it to #1 Calgary […]

Manitoba’s Bad Week, and Other Upsets


Well, we start off the week’s slate of matches with a couple of upsets from last night’s action.
Men

The Bisons are not having a stellar week. #3 Winnipeg beat #4 Manitoba in a see-saw battle 3-2 (25-21, 25-23, 18-25, 25-27, 15-10) on Wednesday (game story/stats), then the Bisons dropped last night’s match 3-1 to unranked Thompson […]

Canadian Returns Home From Kentucky


Canadian Tess Edwards, recruited as a setter two years ago to the University of Kentucky, has decided to return to Canada. She will be transferring to the University of Ottawa to begin play in December 2007. She must sit for a year as part of CIS transfer regulations.
Edwards is from Ottawa, and so it makes […]

More of What’s On


Like I said yesterday, we have a full slate of games on this weekend. Here are some more.
***************
For those of you who like to follow live game stats, CSTV’s GameTracker has a bunch of them listed. Now, remember what I told you last time: GameTracker is notorious for listing games and then not carrying a […]

What’s On


There are a couple of games on this weekend. Some audio, some video. Enjoy.
***************
Trinity Western is streaming audio of both their men’s and women’s matches against Calgary this weekend. The women play first on Friday night at 6 pm local time, followed by the men’s matchup at around 8. The second set of matches begin […]

This Week’s AVCA Men’s Poll


The AVCA men’s poll holds few surprises this week, but then again, it’s still pretty early in the NCAA men’s season. Still, it looks like the Midwest are the dirty shirts again this year, with two undefeated teams still not getting any higher than 7th: IPFW (7th) and Ohio State — who, at 5-0, gets […]

This Week’s National Rankings


Not much has changed in the national rankings this week. Surprise, surprise.
The men’s rankings remain unchanged, despite Dalhousie dropping their first match of the season against lower-ranked Laval in that brutally tough Atlantic-Quebec interlock tournament this past weekend, which I thought would have provoked even, you know, a GLIMMER of recognition from the rankings people, […]

One to Watch: Devon Miller


When you think of nationally-ranked teams, Queen’s Golden Gaels don’t exactly leap to mind. Not generally a national force, this year things are different for Queen’s. This year, they’re ranked 8th near the break, and they’re making a real run to win Ontario and be in the big dance. And that’s down, in part, […]
